[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2162307, member: 68758"] I'd take the receiver ring to boltface dimension on all the receivers, and use the shortest one as the "reference". Then, you can set up/dial in the other receivers in the lathe and face their receiver rings so that all measure the same. Naturally, make sure any other truing work affecting headspace is done prior. Any barrel chambered to fit one of the receivers, would then headspace correctly on all of them. You'll want to use consistent torque on the action wrench so that thread crush doesn't vary. Punch withness marks on the underside of the receivers/barrels. The caliber marking can end up anywhere, but that's cosmetics. Should work, "in theory"... [/QUOTE]
